were 500 square inches of solid
reading matter, a desert of type
with that one solitary oasis of q heading

enough to stagger any man. 1t is quite
contrary to everything else that | know

up at the corners, a Camden bus says it's

minister announces his text, and lecturer
gives the subject of his discourse. | don't
have to go into a train ana ride mile or
